Apparently the news going around that Jack had surgery is a rumor.
I think hes going to pull through this one. Hes a tough old guy and hes not done yet.

Here is something from the celebstoner.com that talks about it.

******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** ***

Herer's currently at Emanuel Trauma Center in Portland. His wife Jeannie reports: "Jack has NOT had angioplasty yet and may not have to. Last night (Sept. 12) the doctors put him in an induced coma and lowered his body temp with ice. They are keeping him this way for 48 more hours. His heart is doing well for now so they think he will be ok soon."

damn, that's messed up.

r.i.p. jack

cantSEEme · 09-19-2009, 05:47 AM

apparently, there are a lot of speculations about whether jack has passed or not. i recently just heard he is actually alive, although in critical condition and on life support. some reports are saying his family is debating on whether to take him off life support.

Update: Jack Herer, Emperor of Hemp, marijuana hero, critical condition

either way, best wishes to his family, and i hope jack is in a better place, comatose or not.

"We ask for every one to focus their energies toward spiritually connecting with Jack and telling him it's time to wake up," another friend said.

Like the Gov was. I am honored to have met and spoke with both of them. Jack Herer told me I should run for office when I spoke with him in '92.

I sold him some of that dangerous marijuana that day.

"Emperor of Hemp" Jack Herer Improving, Moved Out of ICU
Jack's awake and out of ICU. He's not talking yet or moving around much. He starts physical therapy on Monday. I just want to thank everyone so much for all the prayers and good wishes. They really seem to be working. Progress will probably be slow so please keep it up.

Mikey · 10-05-2009, 07:14 AM

good to hear he's out from the ICU,hopefully he'll make a full recovery
